Microbial communities and geochemical dynamics in an extremely acidic, metal‐rich stream at an abandoned sulfide mine (Huelva, Spain) underpinned by two functional primary production systems

An extremely acidic (pH 2.5-2.75) metal-rich stream draining an abandoned mine in the Iberian Pyrite Belt, Spain, was ramified with stratified macroscopic gelatinous microbial growths ('acid streamers' or 'mats'). Microbial communities of streamer/mat growths sampled at different depths, as well as ... View More
